Former Oakland pig, Johannes Mehserle, has been freed on bail after being caught on video shooting 22-year-old Oscar Grant in the back. Mehserle’s $3 million bail was posted by unknown sources after BART Police Chief Gary Gee told fellow officers to support his bail. The pig was released just as protesters who took part in a demonstration against the murder were arraigned.
Incidents like this clearly show that the police are an illegitimate authority in neighborhoods of color throughout the US. The system is made to protect itself, so eventually we are going to need to exercise our own human right to overthrow these tyrannical gangs we live in constant fear of.
